Description
- The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed:
- The present invention relates to textile ring spinning machines. Particularly, the invention relates to yarn suction arrangement for an automatic yarn piecing unit in ring spinning machines. More particularly, the invention relates to broken yarn picking arrangement to detach the broken yarn end from the spinning cop to enable automatic piecing operation in textile ring spinning machines.
- Ring spinning machines are the final yarn producing machines in textile spinning mills, which are very crucial machines. The said ring spinning machines produces the resultant form of cotton in spinning line, so called yarn. Yarn breakage occurs frequently in ring spinning machines which is a major setback spinning industry is facing worldwide. Yarn breakage has to be continuously monitored and broken yarn has to be pieced then and there by the workers. The yarn breakage occurs due to various parameters of yarn and machine and it is unavoidable. In long spinning frame sites, human labours continuously monitor yarn breakages and perform manual piecing of broken yarns round the clock walking along the pathways of the ring frames. This has to be done for a machine frame normally consisting of more than 1600 spindles and about 75 metres long. After successful piecing of broken yarn, yarn spinning sequence has to be restarted then and there for every broken yarn spindles, in order to avoid wastage of yarn.
- To overcome above problems, automatic piecing units are being developed. The automatic piecing unit is in the form of a movable vehicle with guiding means. The said piecing vehicle stops at respective broken yarn spindle position which requires piecing attention. The piecing unit in general moves longitudinally over the machine frame aisles. Before initiating piecing operation, the piecing vehicle stops in front of the spindle position of ring spinning machine. Then the broken yarn end which is available in the spinning cop has to be found and detached from the cop and lifted above to enable piecing operation. The said detaching of yarn from spinning cop automatically is a very difficult task in general.
- Extensive trials are being done for past several years to successfully implement automatic piecing units in textile spinning machines. But till date, automatic piecing units were not implemented due to the difficulties involved. In the existing piecing arrangements which were on trials, the automatic piecing unit moves longitudinally along the aisle of the ring spinning machine.

In the existing piecing arrangements which were on trials, the automatic piecing unit moves longitudinally along the aisle of the ring spinning machine. The ring spinning machine is capable of winding yarn onto a bobbin mounted to spinning spindle, so called cop. When yarn breakage occurs in the spinning sequence, the broken yarn thread becomes entangled in the spinning cop. To enable yarn piecing, the entangled yarn end has to be detached from the cop. For picking the broken yarn end from the cop, automatic piecing units are normally provided with suction arrangements. The cylindrical suction nozzle with mouth / opening extends from the piecing unit and is positioned usually at a predetermined distance above the top of the spinning cop to suck the yarn end from the cop. For providing the required suction, normally suction motors are used. The existing suction motors are large in size and expensive. Also, suction motor occupies considerable space in automatic piecing unit due to its size. This results in increased mass of the automatic piecing unit in addition to increased cost.

- Referring to
Fig. 1 showing a schematic side view of a suction assembly of an automatic piecing unit (1), operation of the automatic piecing unit (1) is explained. The automatic piecing unit (1) moves longitudinally along the aisle of a ring spinning machine. The ring spinning machine is capable of winding yarn onto a bobbin mounted to spinning spindle, so called cop (4). When yarn breakage occurs in the spinning sequence, a broken yarn thread gets entangled in the spinning cop (4). To enable yarn piecing, the broken or entangled yarn end has to be detached from the cop (4). A suction assembly of the automatic piecing unit (1) provides the required suction to pick the broken yarn end from the cop (4). The suction assembly comprises a suction pipe (2) that may be cylindrical in shape, and may having a suction mouth / opening (3). The suction pipe (2) is displaced at a predetermined height at the top of the cop (4) so as to suck the broken yarn end from the cop (4). - As shown in
Fig. 1 , the suction assembly is provided with a venturi jet instead of suction motor, for picking the broken yarn end from the cop (4).Two venturi jets i.e. a first venturi jet (5a) and a second venturi jet (5b) are used to suck the broken yarn end from the cop (4). As an embodiment, multiple venturi jets can also be used. The first venturi jet (5a) is fixed adjacent to the suction pipe (2). The second venturi jet (5b) is fixed away from the suction mouth (3) at the farther end of the suction assembly as shown inFig. 1 . Compressed air from a pressure supply port or the ring spinning machine suction unit or spinning mill suction unit or any source may be passed inside the first venturi jet (5a) and the second venturi jet (5b) sequentially. When the compressed air flows into the venturi jet (5a), a constricted section of the first venturi jet (5a) increases the flow velocity of the compressed air. Due to this process, a vacuum is created in the suction mouth (3), which causes suction in the upward direction due to the Venturi effect, to lift the broken yarn end from cop (4). - In an aspect of the present invention, working sequence of the suction assembly is as described hereinafter. The compressed air is passed inside the first venturi jet (5a) through the inlet provided in the first venturi jet (5a). The compressed air leaves the venturi jet (5a) at an outlet towards the inner side of the suction pipe (2), thereby creating a suction effect or vacuum in the upward direction inside the suction mouth (3). The varying diameter profile of venturi inner pipe from one end to another creates the desired suction effect in upward direction. Due to the suction effect or vacuum, the broken yarn end from the cop (4) is picked and sucked inside the suction mouth (3) into the suction assembly. The sucked broken yarn end may be then delivered for piecing operation.
- In another embodiment, the second venturi jet (5b) may be placed at the farther end of the suction assembly. A sensor (not shown) is placed inside the suction pipe (2) near the second venturi jet (5b) to detect the sucked broken yarn end. The sensor position provides an output upon detecting the broken yarn end in the suction pipe (2). Based on such output, the second venturi jet (5b) is provided with compressed air. Simultaneously, supply of the compressed air to the first venturi jet (5a) is cut off. Consequently, the broken yarn end is held inside the suction pipe (2) in a controlled manner without unwinding from the cop (4). The above sequence is continued whenever required.
-
Fig. 2 illustrates a perspective view of venturi jet (5). The compressed air is passed inside the venturi jet (5) from an inlet. The venturi jet (5) has tapered inner profile that purges the compressed air at an outlet of the venturi jet (5) at an upward direction of the cop (4) inside the suction pipe (2). This creates suction at the mouth (3) and the broken yarn end is picked upwards from the cop (4). - In another embodiment of the present invention, multiple / plurality of venturi jets can also be used. In one scenario, a suction pressure due to the compressed air flow is varied at any sequence with a single or multiple flow controls. Timing of providing multiple flow controls may be varied in any sequence according to picking requirement of the broken yarn end. As a result, the suction pressure may desirably be maintained for efficient yarn picking and piecing.
- As an example embodiment, a suction pressure for the first venturi jet (5a) is maintained in a suitable operating range, preferably 50 mbar to 70 mbar, until the broken yarn end is picked/sucked from the cop (4) and detected by the sensor positioned adjacent to second venturi jet (5b). Then, the second venturi jet (5b) is provided with compressed air. Simultaneously, the compressed air supply to first venturi jet (5a) is cut off. A suction pressure for the second venturi jet (5b) is maintained in a suitable operating range, preferably the range of 30 mbar to 50 mbar, until the sucked broken yarn end is delivered for piecing.
- In addition to the venturi jet (5), a plurality of air jets may be provided around the bottom of the cop (4) to assist in lifting the broken yarn end (not shown).
- In another non-limiting embodiment, a method for automatic piecing of broken yarns in a ring spinning machine is disclosed. The method comprises sucking a broken yarn end from a cop (4) using a suction assembly. The suction assembly comprises a suction pipe (2) having a suction mouth (3) present at an end facing the cop (4). The suction pipe (2) is positioned at a predetermined height over the cop (4). A venturi jet (5a) isaffixed with the suction pipe (2), and the venture jet (5a) receives compressed air from a pressure supply port. A movement of the compressed air through a constricted section of the said venturi jet (5a) creates vacuum in the suction mouth (3) to suck the broken yarn end from the cop (4) into the suction pipe (2).
- Thus, the above described automatic piecing unit and a method for automatic piecing of broken yarns in a ring spinning machine provides a reliable solution for picking the broken yarn end from the cop without completely unwinding the cop (4) in a cost effective manner. Space is also considerably reduced in the automatic piecing unit (1) by eliminating use of heavy suction motor.
